Nutrition Health Mix for Industrial Working Women
Supporting Better Nutrition, Energy and Well-Being at the Workplace
ACT India Foundation provides nutritious health-mix powder to women working in industrial and textile workplaces as part of its Workplace Women’s Nutrition and Health Programme.
Women workers often manage physically demanding work along with household responsibilities. Long working hours, irregular meals and limited dietary diversity can make it difficult to obtain adequate protein, fibre and essential micronutrients through everyday meals. Evidence from workplace nutrition programmes in India highlights the importance of improving access to diverse and nutritious foods for women workers.
Our Nutrition Health Mix Initiative
ACT India Foundation distributes a carefully prepared nutrition health-mix powder to industrial working women to complement their regular diet and encourage healthier nutritional practices.
The health mix is designed to provide a combination of nutritious food ingredients, protein, dietary fibre and selected micronutrient-rich ingredients, depending on the formulation.
Key Objectives
- To support the daily nutritional needs of women workers
- To improve access to nutritious food options within workplace communities
- To provide additional dietary fibre and protein through a convenient food supplement
- To encourage better awareness of balanced and diverse diets
- To support women's overall health, strength and well-being
- To promote healthier food choices among industrial worker communities
- To integrate nutrition support with ACT India Foundation's wider women's health and wellness programmes
Nutrition Education Alongside Distribution
ACT India Foundation combines distribution of the health mix with nutrition awareness and education. Women workers are encouraged to include a variety of cereals, pulses, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds and other nutrient-rich foods in their regular meals.
The programme promotes the principle that a health mix is a supplement to a balanced diet, not a replacement for regular meals.
Building Healthier Workplaces
Our workplace nutrition initiative complements ACT India Foundation's other programmes for industrial women workers, including:
Menstrual Hygiene Awareness • Yoga & Wellness • Nutrition Education • Health Awareness • POSH Awareness • Community Health Programmes
Through these integrated activities, ACT India Foundation aims to create healthier, more informed and empowered women workers and stronger workplace communities.
Our Vision
“Nourished Women. Healthy Workplaces. Stronger Communities.”
ACT India Foundation is committed to working with industries and communities to improve women's access to nutrition education, healthy food choices and holistic health support.
